Papering

Papering brings the feel of a ring binder to your iPad. Make it a planner, a journal, a sketchbook, or a place for whatever you want to put on paper.

Paper you can move
Open the rings with the lever. Take out a sheet, change its place, or move it to another binder. Your handwriting and decorations move with it. Turn pages with your fingers and choose a one-page view or a two-page spread.

Choose your inserts
Pick yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, journal, and to-do inserts, or start with lined, grid, dot, or blank paper. Import a PDF as a binder or individual sheets. Use your own PDF or image as an insert design.

Write, decorate, and find
Write and draw with your finger or Apple Pencil. Add stickers, memo notes, photos, washi tape, and index tabs. Search your handwriting; recognition happens on your iPad.

Your writing stays yours
Papering does not collect the contents of your pages. Handwriting recognition runs on your iPad, and sync uses your iCloud account. Your page contents are not sent to a Papering server. No Papering account or separate sign-in is needed.

Free and Pro
The free Free lets you create one binder, with no limit on its sheet count. A binder in the trash still counts toward this limit. iCloud sync and PDF export are free.

Pro is a one-time purchase for unlimited binders, with Family Sharing. There is no recurring subscription. Binders you have already made remain available to open and write in.

Requires an iPad with iPadOS 18 or later. Apple Pencil is optional.

Open your binders on a Mac with Apple silicon to read, type with the typewriter, and arrange photos and stickers. Handwriting is available on iPad.
